One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two succumbed to their injuries at nearby hospitals. Authorities identified the suspect in the killings as 24-year-old John Lyons. Approximately two hours after the triple homicide, Lyons was spotted in Berwyn, located over 144 miles away from Mahomet.

Police responded to a report of a man armed with a gun on Home Avenue in Berwyn. Upon arrival, Lyons fled on foot, evading two responding officers. He then forced his way into a neighboring home, where he killed two dogs before fleeing into a nearby yard.

Fuentes shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday afternoon, explaining that Lyons had come to his home during the chaotic series of events. “Last night an armed killer made an attempt on my life at my home, which was recently doxxed on this platform,” Fuentes wrote. “The gunman carried a pistol, crossbow, and incendiary devices.

I believe he intended to kill me.” Fuentes also detailed how the gunman had broken into a neighboring home while attempting to evade police, where he fatally shot two dogs.

“The killer parked his car in front of my house and approached my door with his pistol drawn and what appears to be a crossbow. I was livestreaming at the time. He rings the doorbell, tries the doorknob and yells ‘Yo Nick!’” Fuentes wrote.

Despite Fuentes’ claims, police have not confirmed whether he was specifically targeted during the incident. Fuentes also reported that he was not harmed in the event. Also Read: Neil Cavuto’s Net Worth: Was He The Wealthiest Fox News Anchor?.
